A lively handwritten print with a pronounced rightward slant and a brush-pen feel. Strokes taper at entries and exits, with subtle swelling through curves, creating a textured, drawn rhythm rather than uniform geometry. Letterforms are tall and compact with tight sidebearings, while widths vary per glyph, giving the line a naturally uneven cadence. Terminals are mostly rounded or softly flicked, and bowls and counters stay open for readability despite the informal construction.
Well-suited for short-to-medium text where an informal, personable voice is desired: packaging callouts, posters, social media graphics, greeting cards, quotes, and casual branding. It can also work for headings and subheads in editorial or lifestyle contexts when paired with a more neutral text face for body copy.
The font reads as approachable and spontaneous, like quick note-taking or casual signage. Its energetic slant and bouncy proportions give it a cheerful, conversational tone, suggesting motion and personality more than polish or restraint.
The design appears intended to capture the immediacy of handwritten marker or brush lettering while remaining legible across mixed-case text. Its narrow, slanted forms prioritize expressive rhythm and compact word shapes for energetic display and headline use.
Capitals are narrow and upright-leaning with simplified structures, pairing smoothly with the lowercase without feeling overly decorative. Descenders (notably in g, j, y) are long and gestural, adding sparkle to word shapes. Numerals follow the same handwritten logic, with simple, open forms and slight baseline wobble that reinforces the human-made character.
